How about just jail the programmers and engineers since they are the only ones who ever have a record of what went on.

Wouldn't be the first time programmers were the only ones to do time for a company's crimes.
But when I'm asked to implement robosigning and push back now I'm the bad guy. I won't do it, but another dev did against my and the other developer's advice. He'll be fine I'm sure. No one will notice.

And it's not hard at all to see different pieces done, which individually do not make a crime. However these 10 pieces (read: Agile cards) do make illegal actions possible.
The management approved this, and the devs worked on it. The devs certainly didn't execute said code. Now, if they were discussing "this feature allows fraud but we're going to do it anyway" over jira or email, roast'em.
